So is VR a meme or the legit future of vidya?
>>341802179
>unconscious bias
What the fuck?
>>341802429
thiiiiink about it... you can do this
>>341802179
Most likely just another medium/industry, in addition to and not replacing traditional vidya. (like mobile games) At least not for a good while yet.
It's still early on, so there's good stuff and shit stuff, but it's definitely only going to get better and more popular.
>>341802179
Its a gimmick, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
>>341802179
AR strapped to your face is a meme
actual holodeck tier VR is the legit future of vidya
>>341803208
Will they zap my brains until I like trannies?
Literally just tiny screens strapped to your face.
I don't see how this can help kids with autism
VR can't teach you empathy
>>341802179
It's a meme until stationary treadmills become affordable and games that are actually worthwhile are developed for it. Also, the resolutions really needs to be upped for every headset on the market. Everything out there is screen-door central. If the tech devs put the work in for three or four iterative generations then it might be worthwhile in the end.

>>341802429
You know the 'subliminal message' meme that everyone's been going on about forever?
That, essentially.
>>341804771
You could run sims for recognizing body language.
Not betting money on effectiveness, since you'd be training them to recognize elements in the sim and not real life. Even small changes in "games" undermine expertise.
>>341802179
vr is dumb overpriced garbage
there will be 0 (zero) games worth playing for any vr platform in the next two decades
>>341802179
I was promised free orgies if they brainwashed me.
>>341802179
Right now it's a meme, filled with shitty indie stuff and a few porn things (or so I hear). It has potential, but it's pretty much nothing now. I personally can't think of much aside from porn I would want to play in VR, since so many of the games I like aren't first person.
Is that literally wu? Why the fuck is anyone still listening to her?

>>341802179
VR is a gimmick that has been around for decades.
It'll be uncomfortable, cause neck/eye pain, class action lawsuits, expensive, hard to developer for and in the end it'll go the way of 3D movies and 3D TVs.
>>341802179
>Huge potential for empathy
>Here's how we're going to abuse it to subliminally message people into our point of view
>>341805807
you see those empty seats?
you're just being visited by the conspiritards from gerbergrape, who have nothing better to do than pretend that the tranny is part of an international conspiracy
>>341805851
This is rather odd. Why would they bring up mind control if the device is intended primarily for video games?
>>341802179
Meme for now
I still believe the future is 3d since the tech is generally cheap enough to be widespread among TVs, monitors and, like the 3DS, in handhelds
>>341806179
until you have input devices that actually take advantage of depth there's no point
the controls for the rift and vive need to be iterated on before they fit the bill, i think
>>341806209
I'm confused, I deliberately avoided gg threads since I didn't want to participate in the retardation and don't really know what it actually was. Also is this from /x/
Virtual reality teases all the senses, not just sight.
That's why it's called virtual REALITY.
This is nowhere near the levels of immersion they think it is.
Anyone who can't figure out that VR is just gonna be another gimmick like motion controls that gets ditched after a few years must be brain dead. Anyone who buys into this is dumber than the people who bought 3D TVs.
>>341806594
it's just an unmedicated schizophrenic, anon
>>341806406
We already have them, sure controllers will advance but we have more than enough
>>341802429
>unconscious bias training
Yeah, that doesn't sound sketchy at all
I got my Vive a week ago, and honestly it's improved my life.
It's not just escapism, it's fucking therapeutic.
Whatever anyone else says about it, I've gotten more joy out of this than I have from anything else in gaming in years.
>>341806901
Oh ok then. Thanks anon
>>341806978
Well good for you, it's good to be happy. I don't need VR since I have Kirby games.
>>341802179
The same as motion controls, could have been good but devs reduce it to a meme, west only do walking sims and japs only waifu sims.
It's time will come
but I'll be dead by then so whatever
>>341806978
What games?
isnt that the tranny wu? also
>unconscious bias
>>341807028
Why'd it get deleted though...
>>341806114
Guess what platform they already try to use to push rheir agenda

>>341807418
you know that shit has been banned from /v/ for almost two years now, right
>>341807130You can have both.

>>341802179
VR killed Resident Evil.
>>341802429
Literal brainwashing.
not that anyone on /v/ would change their mind based on anything anyone else on /v/ says, but I've had my vive for 10 days and it really can't be expressed how fun it is to draw floating turds around myself or shoot arrows at things and have it actually be accurate.
It's everything the wii wasn't, but wanted to be.
That said, it's true that there's not much other than tech demos right now. But seriously, I could just draw floating turds in the air for the rest of my life.
>>341802179
i won't buy vr until there is good porn on it
>>341808028
That's some high level 'tism you got there anon.
>>341802429
Basically conditioning young kids at their most suggestible age to be more progressive and accepting of the lgbt community and liberal ideas through the immersive nature of VR and how at a higher level of technology will make the users highly suggestible to the political messages that the developers will undoubtedly put into their games as this technology gets better.
Bascially the liberal agenda withing vidya today isn't as effective because video games as a medium haven't gotten to that level of immersion and rely on plot and dialogue to sway the players into their leftist bubble.
Welcome to the 21st century.
Based upon the reception, meme.
Learn to fad/trend.
we're all laughing now, but i know they WILL implement them in public school for that "unconscious bias training"
If you haven't played Vive then you won't understand current VR.
The Google Paint VR is fucking amazing and is a clear sign VR is not a meme. Its the future of vidya, digital 3d creation, and general immersive interactivity. And porn. Especially porn.
Its like if you played 2d games all your life and eventually 3d games came out. People would be like
>It's a meme
But its the future, just like vr.I have only used vive at demos and a couple acquaintances houses who have it and I am saving up for one. I can't fucking wait.
>>341808878
Vive is okay, but it's the space that kills it for me. I have the choice to either have a living room OR a VR space. I'm not going to move and pay more rent for something with no games and garbage-tier visual fidelity.All my experience with the Vive and the Rift come from a Bjork exhibition.
>>341802179
It'll never not be a meme, just like motion controls
>>341802179
It won't be the future if it remains niche
Hey, VRfags, name one first person game that achieved more than a game in any other perspective
>>341807638
Nah, I really don't want Kirby in VR. It doesn't fit something like that.
>>341810419
he meant you can have your kirby games outside of VR and have VR also, you don't have to choose just one
>>341805807
Inb4 doesn't nullify your stupidity and ignorance.
>>341808878
I'm holding out until it becomes more common and I can try the different sets out myself. That said, the Oculus Touch looks a lot more sketchy with track than the Vive demos I've seen people use.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB5pdWO25ac
>>341810606
Ah. Well I don't particularly like VR (I remember posting about the time I vomited all over my friend's couch when I tried his set, despite loving the 3DS's 3D) so it's Kirby only for me. It's good that people enjoy VR though, it sounds nicer than it used to be.
>>341804635
This.
I dont get how any autistic pleb could fall for this shit.
>>341811372
You naysayers couldn't wear it anyway, since your heads are stuck up your asses.
Well here's the thing, I always hear the same words when there's a discussion about VR, there's "potential" but it's not there, or when developers / industry people are talking about it they say it's cool and all but they haven't really found the "thing" yet or the best way to use it or whatever
So okay, baby steps I get that, but even still can anyone try to paint a picture for me on "mainstream" VR? Because I'm not really seeing it right now
The only thing I see is a big deal made out of "experiences" which sounds neat in theory but to me it seems like it would get old really quickly, I'd need something with more substance to play, but what I see are just a bunch of "party games" or simply doing this "one thing" or even in case of AR stuff being limited to a play area or clunkly teleporting around
Then people talk about immersion and how cheaper treadmills and shit like that would be great and they need to reduce costs first, but here I just see a bunch of gimmicky bullshit, like that gas mask for "smelling" the game, those vibrating clothes or whatever that make you "feel the impact" or treadmills that make 1/1 movement possible, or more "immersive" gun controllers or whatever, but all that adds up, and do you see how expensive treadmills are and have been? I can't see a future, even 1 or a few decades from now where all this shit is just really cheap enough to be "bundled in" or to be a "core" experience
Which really does boggle my mind because we would need high adoption rates for devs to get confortable / skilled enough(and of course a lot of money) to develop anything worthwhile and so we just get stuck into a catch 22 situation
It could take off of course, probably will since a ton of companies are investing on it, but I don't think it will take off in any way people are envisioning, not for gaming at least, I don't really think it will ever be that big a thing for it
>>341811990
That's a lot of words with nothing to say.
>>341812151
Yeah, good job dodging the question entirely anon
My Right eye is 70% blind, would VR be able to work for me or no?
My brother has a vive, but I've spent a lot of time using it.
I'd drop $800 on it just for tiltbrush even though I wasn't hyped at all for VR prior to seeing it in action.
>>341814317
The creative apps look great. Kingspray too.
Its as much of a meme as the kinect and motion controls were.
>>341814886
Motion controllers are still in use today. VR actually allows them to work perfectly.
